The effect of chronic ingestion of ethanol on modulation of granulomatous inflammation in experimental schistosomiasis in mice
Keywords:
Schistosomiasis mansoni, Ethanol, Modulation of granulomatous inflammationAbstract
We studied the role of ethanol on the modulation of liver granulomata around Schistosoma mansoni eggs in mice. Albino mice, receiving 7% ethanol as the sole drinking liquid, at 60 and 90 days post-infection, presented smaller granulomata than controls did, when sacrificed at 120 days post-infection. No differences in diameters could be observed, when ethanol was given 4 months before up to 120 days after infection. The results suggested that modulation of schistosome granulomata by ethanol ingestion varies with time and duration of drug consumption.Downloads
